As far as more numbers go, the Switch launched with the highly-anticipated Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the game has sold 4.7 million copies. Right behind it is Mario Kart 8 which has sold over 4.42 million copies. Landing in 3rd, but still impressive, is Splatoon 2 with 3.61 million copies sold. All these numbers are before Super Mario Odyssey’s launch and Christmas season, so these numbers are due to rise.
